...their facility was going to be a bear of a challenge,” said Harvard coach Dave Fish ’72.That challenge grew harder when the decisive action moved away from court one and into the courts of No. 6 Chijoff-Evans and fellow freshman No. 5 Aba Omodele-Lucien. With Harvard up 3-2, Evans and No. 3 junior Sasha Ermakov were both locked in thrillers.As Chijoff-Evans described it, Ermakov broke his opponent’s serve and took the attention of the large and rowdy crowd off him just long enough for the freshman...
